Well, they didn't suspend Marvin for dislocating Roidney's shoulder with his face mask

David Thomas would probably like his $7,500 back now.

Inconsistent doesn't even begin to describe the league offices.

Inconsistant explains a lot in the league this year.....the only constant is Roger "Jets" Goodell and the hatred he has for the patriots.....

A big reason for suspension/fines for plays like this is the results on the player involved. If Welker was carted off in a stretcher you can be sure as sh&t that there would be a fine/suspension.

If the Boston Herald is the source, then it must be true! Why don't they just cite the National Enquierer!

It was Excellent hit...i wish Ryan Clark had laid one on that Wus Ben Watson!

You're right, apparently.

But what do you think of the LINK I gave you a few days ago in which Periera said LAUNCHING AGAINST A DEFENSELESS WR is illegal?

Interesting, no?

He even cited the rule book.

Here, have a look: Vicious Tacklers Will Take Big Hit From NFL Officials - Los Angeles Times

Ref Terry McAulay disagrees with you and Periera.

Funny, but Eugene Wilson got penalized in the Super Bowl for this, and Pereira defended the penalty.

Also, we were told early in the season that the NFL was putting a point of emphasis on hitting defenseless receivers.

You know what I think happened? I think Pereira is a tool
